University of New Haven Athletics

Few players dominated their sport in the same manner as Jenine Berry. The Virgin Islands native played two years for the Chargers, transferring to New Haven prior to the 1985 season.

She led the team in practically every category both seasons she wore a New Haven uniform, registering over 800 kills, 200 total blocks, and 400 digs. Her best season came in 1986 in which she recorded 464 kills in 45 matches, a .381 hitting percentage and 103 total blocks.

Berry became only the third New Haven volleyball player to earn All-America status, receiving the award in 1986. She also received All-New England Collegiate Conference and All-Region honors in 1985 and 1986.

During her four-year career, Berry helped New Haven post a 72-15 record and earn two NCAA tournament bids. 

Prior to her arrival at New Haven, Berry played for the Virgin Island’s National team and served as the team’s captain. Following her graduation, she continued her career by playing in the Pan-American Games. Berry remained active with the Charger program as an assistant coach for five seasons.
